  • The Psychic Who Found Melanie Uribe: Etta Smith's Vision

    The Psychic Who Found Melanie Uribe: Etta Smith's Vision
    May 14 2026
    Melanie Uribe was just trying to get to work. On December 15th, 1980, the 31-year-old nurse and single mother vanished on her way to a night shift in California. Hours later, her burned truck was discovered abandoned on a dead-end road. Witnesses reported hearing screams and seeing men force their way into her vehicle at a stoplight before driving away. Then the case took a turn nobody could explain. A woman named Etta Smith walked into a police station claiming she had experienced a vivid vision showing where Melanie’s body could be found. She described a remote canyon police had not searched, then personally led investigators straight to Melanie’s remains. Instead of being praised for helping, Etta became the prime suspect. In this episode of Serial Napper, we dive into one of the strangest murder investigations in California history. Was Etta Smith psychic? Was it intuition, coincidence, or something else entirely? And why did police become so convinced that the woman who found Melanie’s body had to somehow be involved in her murder? This is the story of Melanie Uribe, Etta Smith, and the case that still leaves people debating the impossible decades later.

  • The Men at the Door: The Disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri

    The Men at the Door: The Disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri
    May 8 2026
    37-year-old Elnaz Hajtamiri knew she was in danger. Weeks before she vanished, she survived a violent attack in the underground parking garage of her Richmond Hill condo after two masked men allegedly tried to kidnap her. She was beaten with a frying pan so severely that she required roughly 40 stitches. Terrified, Elnaz left her home and went into hiding with her family in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. But on the night of January 12, 2022, three masked men posing as police officers arrived at the house with fake badges, fake police vests, and what appeared to be a warrant. Within moments, Elnaz was dragged barefoot through the snow and forced into a white Lexus SUV. She has never been seen again. In this episode of Serial Napper, we revisit the chilling disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri, including major new developments in the investigation and the recent guilty plea from her ex-boyfriend, Mohamad Lilo, who admitted to conspiracy to kidnap in exchange for murder charges being dropped. We examine the alleged stalking, tracking devices, organized criminal connections, private investigators, fake police uniforms, and the haunting reality that, despite years of arrests and court proceedings, Elnaz’s family still does not know where she is. If you have any information about the disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri, please contact the Ontario Provincial Police at 1-888-310-1122 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers. A $100,000 reward remains available for information leading to her location.

  • What Came Up Through the Pipes: The Killings of Rori Hache & Kandis Fitzpatrick

    What Came Up Through the Pipes: The Killings of Rori Hache & Kandis Fitzpatrick
    May 6 2026
    An apartment building in Oshawa had a clogged drain. By the end of the day, police would uncover one of Canada’s most horrifying murder investigations. When plumbers pulled a strange pink, flesh-like substance from the pipes of a basement apartment in December 2017, they immediately called police. What officers found inside the apartment of Adam Strong would shock even seasoned investigators: human remains in a freezer, blood spatter on the walls and ceiling, and evidence linking Strong not just to 18-year-old Rori Hache, but also to Kandis Fitzpatrick, a young woman who had vanished nearly a decade earlier.

  • The Girl in the Bed: Searching for Paulette Gebara Farah

    The Girl in the Bed: Searching for Paulette Gebara Farah
    May 2 2026
    On March 22, 2010, four-year-old Paulette Gebara Farah was reported missing from her family’s luxury apartment in Mexico City. There were no signs of forced entry. No ransom demands. No witnesses. And this wasn’t a child who could easily wander off. What followed was a massive media frenzy. Her parents, Mauricio Gebara and Lizette Farah, made emotional public appeals as search efforts intensified and the entire country watched. But as days passed with no answers, the focus began to shift inward. Investigators started questioning the family. Stories didn’t quite line up. Public suspicion grew. Nine days later, she was found in the same room… in a place dozens of people had already looked.

  • Six Minutes on the Bay Bridge: The Unsolved Disappearance of Toni Clark

    Six Minutes on the Bay Bridge: The Unsolved Disappearance of Toni Clark
    Apr 27 2026
    Just before midnight in March 1990, Toni Clark was driving home across the Bay Bridge when her car stalled. Minutes later, another vehicle crashed into it. Police arrived within six minutes. Toni was gone. No one saw her go over the bridge. No evidence proved she entered the water. And a week later, her mother says she received a phone call she believed came from Toni herself. In this episode of Serial Napper, I’m diving into the haunting disappearance of Toni Clark, a pregnant 17-year-old whose case never received the national attention it deserved. Was Toni killed in a tragic accident… or taken from that bridge? We explore the timeline, witness accounts, the mysterious phone call, the driver later charged and acquitted in connection with the crash, and the uncomfortable question of why some missing children become household names while others fade from public memory. This case is not just about what may have happened to Toni. It’s about what happens when a missing girl’s story never gets the spotlight.

  • He Was Given a Second Chance…Then Killed His Family Again: The Gregory Green Case

    He Was Given a Second Chance…Then Killed His Family Again: The Gregory Green Case
    Apr 21 2026
    In 1991, Gregory Green brutally murdered his pregnant wife, stabbing her to death inside their home while her children hid nearby. Despite the severity of the crime, he was sentenced to 15–25 years and was eventually released on parole after serving 16 years. He appeared to rebuild his life. He remarried. He became part of a church community. He had more children. But behind closed doors… the same patterns began to emerge. In 2016, as his second wife prepared to leave him, Gregory Green carried out a second act of unimaginable violence...killing four children and forcing their mother to witness it. This episode explores not just what happened… but how it was allowed to happen.

  • The Last Six Minutes: The Mackenzie Shirilla Case

    The Last Six Minutes: The Mackenzie Shirilla Case
    Apr 17 2026
    Three teenagers left a house in the early morning hours of July 31, 2022. Six minutes later, two were dead and one would be convicted of murder. In Strongsville, Ohio, a car driven by 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla slammed into a brick building at nearly 100 miles per hour, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and their friend Davion Flanagan. At first, it looked like a tragic crash. But investigators say the data tells a different story. No braking. Accelerator fully pressed. A prior threat to crash the car. In 2023, Shirilla was convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years to life. But the case didn’t end there. Because not everyone agrees on what happened in those final minutes. Her legal team now argues that a possible medical event may have caused a loss of consciousness. Others point to text messages, videos, and relationship dynamics that suggest something more intentional. And then there’s the part that still doesn’t sit right for many people—A key post-conviction filing raising these issues was rejected, not because it was disproven, but because it was filed one day too late. So what actually happened on Progress Drive? Was this a deliberate act…a catastrophic accident…or something more complicated that never fully made it into the courtroom? This episode breaks down the timeline, the trial, and the competing narratives behind one of the most debated cases in recent years.

  • The 8 Minutes: The Amber Hagerman Case That Created the AMBER Alert

    The 8 Minutes: The Amber Hagerman Case That Created the AMBER Alert
    Apr 14 2026
    On January 13, 1996, nine-year-old Amber Hagerman was riding her bike in Arlington, Texas, when she was abducted by a stranger in broad daylight. There was a witness. Police were called immediately. A search began within minutes. And still… Amber was gone. Four days later, her body was found in a creek just a few miles from where she was taken. Her killer has never been identified. In this episode, we walk through the timeline of Amber’s abduction, the investigation that followed, and how a single question from a concerned citizen led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system, now used worldwide to help recover missing children. We also take a closer look at the suspects who have been considered over the years, the role of evolving DNA technology, and why cases like Amber’s are some of the hardest to solve. Thirty years later, the case remains open. And someone, somewhere, still knows what happened.
